An Extra Day

So today is 29 February, or Leap Day as it is also known, that extra day we get once every four years. It is on this day that women can propose to men, it is considered unlucky by many superstitious individuals, and it's also St Oswald's Day.

But what are you going to do with your extra day? Seeing as how I'm already married and not superstitious, and I won't be observing the feast of St Oswald, I'm going to fill my time in other ways.

First up, I'm preparing for a school visit I'm making tomorrow for World Book Day. I've also got some final tweaks to make to my Warhammer 40K gamebook Herald of Oblivion. Then there are the artist interviews I need to get started on for Artists' Month on this very blog. And that's before I write a pitch for a new Warhammer short story or get cracking on my next big writing project.

I've got way more projects on the burner than is really good for me. I'm working on my most awesome gamebook yet, which I have good reason to believe will see the light of day. That's the main project. I'm also putting together ideas for a novel for the Angry Robot Open Door Novel Submissions http://angryrobotbooks.com/opendoor. On top of that, a smaller gamebook in the interstices for the 2012 Windhammer competition. I've also got my blog of course, with the Lone Wolf Let's Play (which is mostly just for fun) and various reviews and theory posts.

I feel a little schizophrenic at times, but this post on Neil Gaiman's tumblr account, http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/18412213282/im-just-now-getting-truly-serious-about-my, gives me hope.

Thanks for the good cheer! *goes off to mumble in the corner and type furiously*

Here's what people have been saying about my books...

"Green deserves 10/10." - The Independent

"As welcome as a warm glass of mulled wine on a wintry night, Green's guide to Christmas enhances the pleasures of the festive season, offering a witty cornucopia of Christmas facts and folklore." - The Good Book Guide

"As usual, author Jonathan Green gets mileage out of his monsters, with big action set-pieces that read like Things We'd Like to See in a rip-roaring summer movie if the creature effects were good enough." - SFX Magazine
